Installation

These instructions assume an Arch Linux-based distribution. Hyprland is not present in repositories for other Linux distribution as of this writing, and availability of other dependencies may vary. If a package is unavailable on your distribution, please see the links in the Dependencies section to the various repositories for each dependency, and follow the relevant instructions to install manually.

  1. Install an AUR Helper (if necessary):

    sudo pacman -S base-devel git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay
cd yay
makepkg -si

  2. Install all required dependencies

    yay -S hyprland-git eww fuzzel rofi dunst trayer mpvpaper macchina nerd-fonts-inter socat

  3. Clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/taylor85345/garden-hyprland-dotfiles.git

  4. Copy dotfiles into your config directory (assumptions made).

    cp -ri garden-hyprland-dotfiles/* $HOME/.config/

Configuration

  • Default Apps script

    I've included the default_app script, which assigns a program to each workspace and opens the appropriate application for the focused workspace. Edit the script with your preferred application for each workspace. This is called with the SUPER+SHIFT+ENTER keybind, or by right-clicking on the appropriate workspace icon in the bar.

    Known issue: this script currently will not work if more than one monitor is active, as hyprctl does not provide a way to identify the focused monitor.

  • Application Theming

    For consistency, I use the following themes in GTK and QT apps:

    I highly recommend using QT5 applications with this theme, particularly those made for the KDE desktop environment, and applying the Inverse-dark theme via qt5ct and kvantum-manager.

  • Fetch Script

    If you want to use my fetch script, you will need to install Macchina and add macchina to your shell config:
